The cryptocurrency market is set for a potentially record-breaking 2025, with analysts forecasting major milestones for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
Steno Research predicts Bitcoin could soar past $150,000, while Ethereum might exceed $8,000, fueled by favorable economic conditions, increasing liquidity, and post-halving momentum.
Institutional interest is expected to hit unprecedented levels, with U.S.-based ETFs alone projected to attract $48 billion for Bitcoin and $28.5 billion for Ethereum.
Ethereum is anticipated to outperform Bitcoin, with its ETH/BTC ratio potentially doubling to 0.06.
This shift could usher in a strong altcoin season, reducing Bitcoin’s dominance from 57% to 45%, as tokens like Solana and other DeFi projects gain traction. Steno also suggests that Trump’s presidency could favor altcoins by encouraging robust on-chain activity.
Total value locked (TVL) in decentralized applications is expected to top $300 billion, far exceeding 2021’s peak of $180 billion. Industry leaders, including Grayscale, echo this optimism, citing a pro-crypto U.S. administration poised to position the country as a global blockchain leader.
With regulatory clarity and institutional adoption driving momentum, 2025 could redefine the future of digital assets.
Tech billionaire Elon Musk has unveiled a new political movement called the America Party, positioning it as a direct challenge to the United States’ long-standing two-party system.
Bill Miller IV, chief investment officer at Miller Value Partners, argues that the U.S. government has no legitimate claim to tax Bitcoin ownership, as it doesn’t require any state infrastructure to manage or verify property rights.
Changpeng Zhao, the former head of Binance, has hinted at the possibility of a new initiative that would allow BNB token holders to obtain long-term residency in the United Arab Emirates through a token-staking model.
Bitcoin could be on the verge of another major breakout as institutional inflows return to levels that historically trigger rapid price acceleration.
